Just re-registered the 1300 this morning. Timed it well as the 1100 runs out on the 28th.

All I need do is check the tyre pressures and fill the tank for Saturday's RTE.

Yep, I'll be on the Beemer and at the Bolivar Caltex at 10.00.     The hot forecast might discourage Chris from coming, but I'll confirm later in the week.

Excellent!    Although it's going to be a pretty warm ride, with a forecast of around 38.     :H

Sorry folks, I've been in the Riverland on our Fruit Fly Response for the past week and its been a tad warm. A 39 degree forecast at Kadina for Saturday is too much for me. I've returned from Bordertown in 39-40 degree heat and I won't do it again (& I'm sure the good people of Tintinara are very glad to hear this - they suffered me stripping off the leathers in the main street and pouring water over myself to cool down). If you go, hydrate well and stay safe.

Sorry to hear that Langers.  To be fair the last couple of weeks have been hot.  Take care.

38 isn't that bad while you're on the move.

Had to go to Pirie on the 16th.

I stopped at Gladsone when the temp dropped to 37 - it felt cool after riding from home. Pirie had 33 when I arrived and was around 40 when I left. Got to Jamestown on the way back and stopped with the temp being about 43 but between there and home I noticed about 47 while on the move and back at home it was 43.

Main thing is to keep the fluids up - we have a couple bottles of frozen water and cooler ready for this little ride. Thankfully it's only about two hours (176 km) with a couple of drink stops.

Sorry to hear you aren't coming as I was looking forward to a chat.    I'll be taking my Silver Eagle Cooling Vest......

Thanks Pete, I too have a cooling vest but for mine to be effective it needs a lot of air for the Evap cooling effect. Under a DryRider mesh/leather jacket there just isn't enough air  flowing through for the cooling effect (& its not designed for over the jacket) & I'm not prepared not to go ATGATT. I was going to ride the MT03 which would have been much more comfortable (heat wise) than an ST 1300. Oh well, 4 more weeks and I can go ANYTIME!!!

The cooling vest under my shorty mesh jacket works very effectivley and will be worn on the trip home.  I'm looking forward to a decent ride and catching up with some of the SA crew again.

Unfortunately I'm a late withdrawal due to some family issues that have come up, my father going into aged care.

With tomorrows forecast I thought it best to park the bike in a shady spot if possible.

I know there is a park opposite the hotel so that's where we will be. There's only two hour parking on the hotel road this might be a better option anyway.

Bike fuelled and ready to roll.

We had a good turnout at Kadina despite the hot forecast.    JB and I met at Cavan and road to Port Wakefield where we had a leasurely cuppa at Popes Bakery, and rode on the Kadina to meet the rest of the riders.  It was great to meet Mac55 from Peterborough on his first RTE, and others that I haven't seen for a while, including Mikep from Port Augusta.  The required Flag Photo waas taken in the park opposite the pub as we were preparing to leave.    I stopped at Dublin for a drink and to rehydrate my cool vest, and again for a drink at Cavan.

I had a fantastic day out, as I haven't had a decent ride for a while, and arrived back home at around 4.45pm.    No photos from me I'm afraid.
